Abstract
The present paper deals with the survey of the serum levels of total calcium, dialyzable calcium and serum total base. The results were determined after examining 1821 inhabitants over 40 years of age of both sexes in the inland farm and the coastal fishing villages where the mortalities from cerebrovascular lesions were high and low, respectively.The conclusion is as follows;(1) Serum total calcium level estimated using Yanagisawa's photometric procedure was higher in the fishing villages through the entire age group at the significant level of p<0.001.(2) Inversely to the total calcium, the serum dialyzable calcium level was significantly higher in the farm villages.(3) Serum total base level measured with the ion-exchange resin method of Bonting modified by Uchida, showed significantly higher values in the farm villages.(4) Significant positive correlation was seen only between the serum total calcium and dialyzable calcium levels of the farm villagers.
